Buy Your Parents a Romantic Anniversary Gift!

According to the NY Daily News, New York-based artist named Alexander Esguerra began "Love & Paint" back in 2010 after he was inspired by a particularly whirlwind-like sexual encounter that left his place a mess. Ever since, he's been inviting couples to create their own Pollock-like canvases... by covering themselves in non-toxic paint and having sex on a huge canvas. Yep.

Esquerra's process, however, isn't voyeuristic: He takes the couple into his studio, puts them on top of the canvas on the heated floor, lays out carafes of paint and leaves the room to let 'em, uh, get to it. Over 50 couples have created canvases this way. They actually are sort of amazing-looking: Check them out here.

"Sex is basically the great equalizer," says Esquerra. "You look at these paintings and you can't tell if the couple was gay or straight or old or young or married or cheating." It's become so lucrative for Esquerra that he was able to launch "http://www.loveandpaint.org>LoveAndPaint.org, which features $2,500 couple "packages" including stays in upscale New York hotels to create their painting. One 60-year-old couple even participated in Love & Paint to help get the spark back in their marriage. Some anniversary gift, yo.

Are you surprised that doing it in a vat of paint would be a marriage-saver? Would you and your guy be down to create your own masterpiece?
